The Syrian military attacked Ghouta in eastern Damascus earlier today with Sarin gas killing between 100 and 600 people. This is what the Syrian opposition claim and which has been supported by a flood of video on Youtube and accounts on Twitter. The attack is officially unconfirmed. The alleged Sarin incident coincides with the Sunday arrival of a UN chemical weapons inspection team raising concerns that the Ghouta incident may have been staged. What, after all, would the Syrian government have to gain from a such high profile attack near the capital when inspectors arrive unless they were close to collapse or military defeat? The answer? Nothing. There is a very good probability that the incident on 21 August was manufactured by militants within the rebellion to gain international support for UN action against the Syrian government.andrec
